Is sql high avilability works on only windows server 2012 or even it works on lower versions also. My question is that if you want to configure always on high availability group which version of the windows it supports. Is it mandatory to have windows server 2012 or it works in windows 2003 and windows 2008 also

That question is not specific enough to answer.
There are several high availability features to consider
1. Mirroring
2. Log Shipping
3. Fail-over clustering
4. Always on (which takes a modified form of #1 and #2)
5. Transactional replication
Just to name a few, so what is your real question?

SQL Server Availability Groups were introduced with SQL Server 2012. But there are other types of "high availability" options that are there in other versions of the product, as were mentioned by the previous poster.
